A good dancer is an educated one, so dont abandon school.

Young dancers are training at a very vulnerable time in their lives... So train the whole person, not just the dancer.

But you do have to start young as a dancer if you're going to achieve the physical skills necessary.

I always recommend a sensible diet, including lots of carbohydrates and avoiding too much fat. Dancers don't need different fuel from other people - they just need more of it because they use more energy.

I do take class because I still dance, and yes, I do slip into class with the Royal Ballet from time to time.

Dancing is a tough career, but I'm glad I spent it at the Royal Ballet.
